Not worth visiting

This course has gone gradually downhill. Incredibly poor set up. No pro’s shop.
The course is in poor condition playing off small mats with only red tee markers.( one mat is set on a pallet that rocks when you stand on it). Very poor maintenance generally - boggy areas, bare muddy patches, bunkers not raked for months with weeds growing in them. There are much better courses in the area.

Municipal course, premium price

Judging by their membership fees and comparing them to other local courses that are of a premium quality, you’d expect FHGC to be another premium Leicestershire course. Not so

Recently cut rough left in clumps off the fairways, making it nigh on impossible to find an errant shot

The greens are ridiculously pony- there are municipal courses you can play on that have less weeds on them

I’ve never seen weeds/grass growing out of the middle of bunkers before in my life, but you can see them here!

Lack of sand in the bunkers is shocking too

Pace of play- being stuck behind a 5 ball who can’t hack it more than 30 yards a time

We all know FH have lost members by the 100s due to all the above and the ridiculous increase in member fees. This has paved a way for newer golders to join, and because Forest Hill are desperate to up the membership numbers, they’re accepting anyone of every standard

This review may sound quite snobby, but it really was appalling. The club have set the prices, so my expectations were set to match those prices. If you don’t agree with the fact golfers should be better than hitting the ball 30 yards every time, then you can still have an etiquette. However…

Don’t worry about tucking your T-shirt in, don’t worry about taking your electric trolley over the red tees. Don’t worry about playing slow and not letting players through. Don’t worry about repairing your pitch marks

It’s such a shame, the course is challenging, and more picturesque than the courses it wants to compete against. It just fails miserably in everything else.

After walking off on 13, we requested a refund which was rejected. We in turn rejected their offer of a free 9 hole voucher because we’ll never come back here again.

Time for the owners to concentrate on rescuing the golf club instead of prioritising the overpriced driving range.

Green keepers on strike?

The course is a great course layout wise but it's been left to ruin. The rough is nearly knee height and has the grass they've previously cut everywhere. The fairways are absolutely shocking and the bunkers are full of weeds. There?s no water in the bell cleaners and the greens are patchy. DO NOT spend money here.

Poor greens

The shop is well stocked and the young chap in there was very polite and helpful.
Whilst we’ve had a lot of rain recently the course generally was mostly dry. The greens however were a joke. What ever possessed the green staff to think driving across them to feed them after all the recent rain leaving deepntyre tracks is bemusing!

The course is in great condition, with a challenging but fair layout. The greens are well-kept and the clubhouse and pro shop are excellent. The course drains really well and is almost always open. Overall, it's an excellent value for money.

Challenging course

First time visit to this course using a free round voucher. Overall the course was in very good condition although there the 10th hole was closed due to the range net being broken and it runs down the side of the range. To compensate the 11th par 5 has been converted into a par 4 & par 3, which is a shame as the 11th overall looks an awesome par 5 hole on its own. We were asked by the course marshall to let an older couple through as they were late to their tee time and playing a lot faster, he was very polite about it. The only issue we had as a first time visitor was the 2nd tee location was confusing so could do with a sign pointing in the direction. It was pointed out to us by a member but we'll know for next time!
Can't comment on the clubhouse facilities as all we had was an after round beer.
The practice driving range is superb with all bays having toptracer facilities but we didn't know there was a practice chipping/putting green until after our round due to it being away from the driving range, again a sign would be beneficial.
Overall an excellent course and we will definitely be visiting again.

Starting to soften

A fair bit of rain meant that the greens were holding quite a lot of water. On the lower part of the course it was a case of pick in place on the on the fairways and also the greens. We were only told that the ninth and 18th greens were temporary when we got there (which wasn't a problem) as they were doing drainage work. The lowering sun meant that both flight was a bit of an issue, luckily we had a fourball.
